Tsuba translation and authentication

With acknowledgement both to Thierry and John:

 

The mei on Dale’s tsuba reads GYOYU KISHIN KIZAMU. This uses an alternative kanji for ‘Gyo’, and is not reproduced in Kinkō Meikan, but the work looks appropriate for that of this artist - H 03210.0.

I would also appreciate comments on the authenticity of the signature.

 

:doubt: > major

 

Wakayama only gives one reference example, but it does not compare well to yours.

You might want to turn to other texts to try to find more examples of this signature and review the workmanship of such signed pieces.

Then decide whether to submit to the NBTHK.
